JOB DONE!!!!!!!!!! :))))))))))) Had a very short day at work on Monday.. worked for just under two hours before the heavens opened so we were sent back to the hostel. We were back before 10am so it gave me the chance to sort a few things out before Friday and I was also able to get in a really good gym session during the afternoon. The weather was cold with patchy downpours on Tuesday but we still managed to work till 3.30pm. Didn't go to the gym as I neede...

Woooaaaahhh!!! Four days to go!!! The finishing line is within touching distance now! :) Had another good week at work with plenty of hours again. It's not been as full on as I was expecting.. three of the days we worked till 5pm and the others we finished earlier. It has been much warmer too.. still cold in the mornings though. An interesting situation occurred at work on Thursday. A few of the lads found something in the paddock where we were working and le...

Worked long hours this week as the boss wants to get the farm cleaned up and ready for the new season before we all leave at the end of May. Done just over 50 hours.. the most I've worked yet.

I have a date in my head of when I'm going to leave the farm and the hostel.. Friday 27th May. The Thursday will be my 88th and ...

True to my word, this week was all about work and the gym. I got plenty of hours in at work and each shift was backed up with a gym session in the evening. It was 'Labour Day' on Monday.. another public holiday in Australia so we only worked half a day. Most of the shops and businesses in town were closed again so it was the only day I was unable to get to the gym. The historic event of Osama Bin Laden finally being killed kept me occupied for the rest of the a...

Back to work on Tuesday. Had a good week doing all sorts of various jobs around the farm. We start at 7am, the boss tells us what he wants us to do and then we're left to it until he calls us in when it's time to finish. We can take our 'smoko' (15minute break) and lunch break when we like so it's good not having someone on your back whilst doing the job. The boss let me loose on one of the tractors for the first time on Saturday aswell!! Was great fun - I loved...
